Obituary For Ernesto Vera
Ernesto Vera, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully surrounded by family members in his Fremont home on Jan. 24th 2023 at the age of 90. He was born in Guanajuato, Mexico on Oct. 4th 1932, to his parents Felipe and Soledad Vera. He was the fourth of 8 siblings. He was ordained a priest in 1957 and remained a priest until 1968. He requested dismissal from his priesthood duties in1968. In 1969 he married and moved to California where he raised a family. It was here that he had four children and later on eleven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
His greatest achievement by far was being a grandfather. His grandchildren affectionately called him ‘Papa’ the nickname given by his eldest granddaughter. He was fond of teaching the kids how to play chess, and he was always telling infinite stories of his life. He would always joke around and drive his grandkids to school, walking them up to their classroom. He was an avid reader. He was also a jokester, he would always find a way to make anyone laugh even if the timing of it was terrible this included when his wife was saying Grace and he would pick at his plate.
Ernesto is survived by his wife, Rosalinda Vera, their four children, Ernesto (Neto) Vera, Silvestre (Chive) Vera, Maria Dolores (Marilola) Vera-Valdez, and Mónica Rivero; his 11 grandchildren, Lauren Vera, Natalie Vera-Hurst, Joshua Vera, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Velia Vera, Rosalinda Vera, Itzel Valdez, Santiago Valdez, Cairo Rivero, Yasmín Rivero, and Caleb Rivero; his 3 great-grandchildren, Isabella Hurst, Nolan Hurst, and Jaxson Alo. He was predeceased by his mother and father, Felipe and Soledad Vera, his brother Carlos Vera and his sister, María de Jesús Gallardo.
The family would like to thank the outpouring of support from family and friends. As well as the support of Angel’s Hospice.
Ernesto Vera, esposo, padre, abuelo, tío, hermano y bisabuelo falleció tranquilamente rodeado de su familia en su casa en Fremont el 24 de enero del 2023 a la edad de 90 años. Nació en Guanajuato, México el 4 de octubre de 1932 de sus padres Felipe y Soledad Vera, el cuarto de ocho hijos. Se ordenó de Sacerdote en 1957, permaneció un Sacerdote hasta que pidió una dispensa sacerdotal en 1968. En 1969 se casó y se mudo a California donde formó su familia. Fue aquí que tuvo cuatro hijos y después once nietos y tres bisnietos.
Sin duda su mayor logro fue el de ser abuelo. Sus nietos y bisnietos le decían afectuosamente ‘Papa’, el apodo que le dio la primera nieta. Le gustaba enseñarles a los niños a jugar ajedrez y siempre les contaba anécdotas de su vida. Siempre bromeaba con ellos y los llevaba a la escuela, asegurándose que entraran hasta el salón. Le encantaba la lectura de todo tipo. También se le conocía por ser muy bromista. Siempre encontraba la manera de hacer a alguien reír aunque el momento no fuera muy oportuno. Esto incluía cuando su esposa rezaba antes de comer y él picaba el plato por comida.
Ernesto es sobrevivido por su esposa, Rosalinda Vera, sus cuatro hijos, Ernesto (Neto) Vera, Silvestre (Chive) Vera, María Dolores (Marilola) Vera-Valdez, y Mónica Rivero; sus 11 nietos, Lauren Vera, Natalie Vera-Hurst, Joshua Vera, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Velia Vera, Rosalinda Vera, Itzel Valdez, Santiago Valdez, Cairo Rivero, Yasmín Rivero, y Caleb Rivero; sus 3 bisnietos, Isabella Hurst, Nolan Hurst, and Jaxson Alo. Antes de él fallecieron sus padres, Felipe y Soledad Vera, su hermano Carlos Vera y su hermana, María de Jesús Gallardo.
Nos gustaría agradecer el inmenso apoyo que toda nuestra familia y amigos nos han brindado. Al igual que el apoyo de Angel’s Hospice.

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; and it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. Elder John Harris 🙏🏽💯❤️✝️
